I am sure that this is purely coincidental, but the color scheme used by the Irkutsk State Technical University has a strong similarity to that of the Most Serene Republic of San Marino! The flag layout is different, but the shade of blue used on both flags seems very similar.

Kazan Federal University

Казанский (Приволжский) федеральный университет

Kazan Federal University was formerly the Kazan State University.

The Kazan Imperial University was chartered in November 1804 by Emperor Alexander I. It was renamed in 1925 after Vladimir Ulyanov Lenin, who studied Law at the university. The status of Federal University was granted in 2010 by the Russian government.

Kazan University has been the place of major scientific breakthroughs. The Polish linguist Jan Niecislaw Baudouin de Courtenay (1845-1929) founded the Kazan Linguistic School, pioneering the study of oriental languages and cultures in Europe. The Baltic German chemist Karl Ernst Claus (1796-1864) discovered in 1844 a new chemical element that he named ruthenium (symbol, Ru; atomic number, 44), the Latin name of Russia. The mathematician Nikolai Lobachevsky (1792-1856), former Rector of the university, developed the non-Euclidean, hyperbolic geometry that would be named for him.

The Kazan Department of the Soviet Academy of Science was founded in Kazan in 1945 by physicists evacuated form Moscow and Leningrad, including Vitaly Ginzburg (1916-2009; Nobel Prize in Physics, 2003), Pyotr Kapitsa (1894-1984; Nobel Prize in Physics, 1978), Igor Tamm (1895-1971; Nobel Prize in Physics in 1958) and Lev Landau (1908-1968; Nobel Prize in Physics, 1962). Kazan State University was inscribed in 1996 to the Register of Cultural Heritage Sites of the Russian Federation.

It has recently been renamed "Kazan (Volga region) Federal University" / Казанский (Приволжский) федеральный университет. The logo has changed accordingly and presumably the flag as well, if it is still in use.

N.I. Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny Novgorod

Нижегородский государственный университет им. Н.И. Лобачевского (ННГУ)

Нижегородский государственный университет им. Н.И. Лобачевского (ННГУ) (English: Nizhny Novgorod (State) University (UNN) N.I. Lobachevsky , also known as Lobachevsky University, was established on January 17, 1916 as one of the three initial Народных университетов России (English: People's Universities of Russia). The first idea of establishing the University first arose in 1896, when the city was preparing for the opening of the XVI Всероссийской художественной и промышленной выставки (English: XVI All-Russian art and industrial exhibition) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-Russia_Exhibition_1896). On the wave of revolutionary reforms in 1905, at a meeting of the City Duma on October 19, the City Head of AM. Memorial suggested organizing a People's University in Nizhny Novgorod.

On March 28, 1918 it became the first State Higher Educational Institution of Soviet Russia as proclaimed by the Губернский исполком (English: Provincial Executive Committee (ofNizhny Novgorod) later, on May 22. Then, on June 28 the closure of the политехнического института (English: Polytechnic Institute (in Nizhny Novgorod)) was transformed into a State University properly. From 1932 to March 20, 1956, its name was State University of Gorky (http://www.unn.ru/site/about/news/60-let-so-dnya-prisvoeniya-nizhegorodskomu-gosudarstvennomu-universitetu-imeni-n-i-lobachevskogo) � from 1932 to 1990 the city of Nizhny Novgorod was known as Gorky � and from March 20, 1956, through Указом Президиума Верховного совета РСФСР (English: Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR) (http://www.unn.ru/site/images/history/decree-1956.jpgin an
effort headed by А.А. Андронов (English: AA. Andronov) and from 1956 to 1990 the Lobachevsky State University of Gorky after great Russian mathematician Nikolai Lobachevsky."

Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky (1792-1856), Professor at the University of Kazan (1822), is best known for the formal definition and exploration of the non-Euclidian hyperbolic geometry. His views were so outrageously innovative that the venerable St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences refused the publication of his seminal paper "A concise outline of the foundations of geometry".

Mikhail Lomonosov Moscow State University

Московский государственный университет им. М. В. Ломоносова

from University website

Valentin Poposki has ferreted out the web site of Lomonosov Moscow State University, which has the university's flags. The url for the university is http://www.msu.ru/info, and the site is multilingual. The site is very well designed and presented, and in fact if it were not for the .ru designator one might almost think that it belonged to one of those American universities which use MSU as an abbreviation, such as Michigan State University, Mississippi State University, Morehead State University (KY), etc.

Omsk State University

Омский государственный университет

image by _Ant�nio Martins-Tuv�lkin, 11 May 2024

At http://omsu.ru/bitrix/templates andhttps://commons.wikimedia.org we can see the logo of Omsk Dostoyevski State University, which is a rendition of its abbreviated name – "ОмГУ" (full official name in
Russian Омский государственный университет имени Ф. М. Достоевского; incorporated as Федеральное государственное автономное образовательное учреждение высшего образования "Омский государственный университет имени Ф. М. Достоевского" – ФГАОУ ВО ОмГУ).

In this logo, the four letterforms are mishapen in non-calligraphic nor typographic fanciful ways to suggest, I presume, the variety of offered courses or some such. The letter "Г" ("G") is rendered as a flag pole hoisting a flying horizontal tricolor flag – very likely meant as a rendition of the national flag. As the logo is monochromatic, shown as light blue on white, the three stripes on the flag are shown by means of two thin background-colored lines, in a sort of Gambian-style triband.

When searching for informantion on the Russian Geographical Society I came across the followingpictures and would like to know if this entity has different flag versions (variants) or if they are complimentary flags for its Departments (Divisions).

The flag reads "Underwater Research Group" and features a golden coat of arms.
